    I call'd the devil, and he came,
    And with wonder his form did I closely scan;
    He is not ugly, and is not lame,
    But really a handsome and charming man.
    A man in the prime of life is the devil,
    Obliging, a man of the world, and civil;
    A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate,
    He talks quite glibly of church and state.

Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell,
And shook a dreadful dart; what seem'd his head
The likeness of a kingly crown had on.
Satan was now at hand.

All his original brightness, not appear'd
Less than arch-angel ruined, and th' excess
Of glory obscured.
